boot

I have an external CD drive which connects to USB. I burned 11.10 Ubuntu image to CD-R. The disk correctly shows me install page when I autoload disk within Windows 7.

When I restart to attempt to boot from disk to install Ubuntu I get the following error for a split second before I continues to boot to Windows.

"isolinux.bin is missing or corrupt".

Clearly my computer knows that this is a Linux disk in the usb cd-drive...What went wrong?

edit: I reburned another disk, same error

I just updated from 11.10 to 12.04, with no major problems (it took a while to get past a request to restart ssh, mysql and some other services, but I did no fiddling by myself, everything was done by the installer). However, after restarting, grub can't do anything. Picking the new linux installation… >>> More
